Living in our home everyday make us just wear pajama that puts comfort in what we wear there is no need to dress up each day. Those who are much bigger than a free size often sold in the Philippines is difficult to find when you're on a budget. The fact finding the right material how it is made with the right texture making sure the fabric doesn't shrink after you've washed it several times. I only prefer to wear pranela cloth. I like it being soft on your skin and not being thin that you're pajama is not see through makes it prefect to wear when you're in an air-conditioned room. I don't like my pajama tight sticking to my skin. I prefer them loose to still move around inside. I was able to find  Majinjooo  Online Shop Shopee Philippines for Pranela Pajama 2XL Plus Size PHP 150.00 ($3.00). There are pockets on the side or back pockets to determine which is the front and back of the pajama pants. Tip: Remember the sizes that are locally made in the Philippines a...

Two days ago Manang V had asked if I had any clothes pins to hold on a garment that needed to be hung after being laundry. Manang V felt if she hung it the clothing would fall off hung outside in our backyard. I told Manang V I've already used up all the clothes pins. I decided to purchase some clothing clips in order for Manang V to feel she can use it when she does her laundry again. I was able to find a seller selling for one kilo worth of clothes pins sound great having a lot in handy for Manang V and I. Today the clothes pins had arrived. Manang V gave me her where she has a hanging hanger to hold on her items. I saw it was missing a lot of clothes pins no wonder Manang V was so worried hanging her garments outside. Manang V didn't know how too attach the clothes pins to the hanger she gave me. I had used a thick thread and knot it while I was adding the clothes pins to each area where it was missing. Manang V no longer has to worry hanging garments outside for those who w...

Out of curiosity I asked my mom if she had a shovel while she has been gardening in her terrace. My mom said no she thought a shovel only had one size. I had explained to her that they have small ones just planting in your home not the typical ones you use to have when we're living in California with a long handle. I asked my mom what she has been using for her garden in her terrace. My mom said I am using a kitchen knife. To me I felt it was too dangerous to use a knife to scoop off the soil and planting in her terrace. For me to make sure my mom is doing her hobby I wanted her to be safe planting in her terrace. I went ahead and started looking for gardening tool set. I sent the link with the picture and price for my mom to see whether that is what type she wanted to use. I know my mom is not young anymore having to carry something heavy may hurt her more. I showed her several types of gardening tool sets that came along together she had a choice from plastic or wooden handle. My...

My mom has been complaining that she has dark spots on her cheeks. Just like anyone else we complain what we notice from our face the longer we stay in our home. We notice other things in our surrounding.  In everyone's face we see features we want to change for ourselves to make us look better on our own self to feel comfortable how we look without any make up. No one wants to show a flaw on our face. We want to see our face with no flaws and in order to do it is to remove unwanted dark spots on your face. There we're several brands I made my mom decide before she made her final decision before, I had placed my purchase. My mom was no longer looking at the price. My mom was looking for a product that helps her maintain her beauty that can reduce the dark spots on her face. I had read reviews of the product and explaining it to my mom to make sure she was picking the right product for herself. Among all the products that claim to remove the dark spots my mom decided...

Due to aging we tend to have bags in our eyes not because we have been crying more that it is a part of life. Any gender male or female reach this peak point in our life we don't like it but to find a cure to remove it we don't want to have plastic surgery. We come to the point of finding a solution to do it ourselves. I was able to find Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream with Alpha - Hydroxy Acid. For one week I have been using the product to remove my puffy eye bags from my face slowly it is going away. You will be applying twice a day morning and night before bed time. No one who reaches our age wants to walk around having eye bags big enough to show we have aged slowly reaching to look like our parents. We recognize how we look when we look at ourselves in the mirror. We can see it when we take a picture with no make up to clarify how we look deep inside. No one really puts make up any more especially when you stay home wearing a mask. Who can see it covered on ...

We live in a generation where some people listen to music through our phone or link it to our car radio. My mom is different from everyone who may still listen to music having in a CD-R. My mom has a boom box player in her home. To us it maybe old school to have those in our home. To my mom it is easier for her to change her CD-R rather to use a remote. In my mom's car she has a CD player where you need to insert a CD-R inside.  Everyone goes based on what they feel comfortable to listen to our own tunes to make us less complicated.  Our generation is changing but to those who are use to old school find it less stressful to do what they feel is right. I have friends who still listen to music just like my mom they are not into listening to music from their phone. They feel listening to music on their phone will take too much battery. Everyone feels different toward everything that revolves in our lifestyle. My mom also loves me saving her pictures in a CD-R from her camera. Yes...

In life our parents put a restriction for us in a way to protect us but when we grow up we try not to limit ourselves we want to look for more than out of life. One reason being in pandemic made me look for other options to move forward and not think what I cannot do. Look for other sources to make my blog keep moving each day.  I've learned to help and message people who I have purchase from to let others recognize what product's they are selling or restaurants we've ordered from it is my way to help people I don't know in way they too can earn an income. I am grateful and blessed I am not striving of hunger able to still eat what I want to eat. I have a job the supplement me still able to work at home.

My mom found Green Meadow in the Facebook advertising with a video how it looked. My mom was very interested and wanted the same tree in her home. My mom doesn't know how to communicate with the person who was selling it. My mom asked me to do it for her.

The seller whom I was communicating with asked me questions to answer name of the person, address to be deliver...

Just in one month I was able to try and explore through burger food chains to see how everything taste. Each place you have tried all have their own signature touch from the sauce, how they cook their dishes and the way they present when being delivered to your home. I've venture in 8Cuts Burger to give them a try everyone love to look back to find the food they miss back in their hometown. To me it would be California where they have In & Out to eat your burger, fries and shake in one place. Every food chain you come across all cook their food differently my family had tried the following: Note: Choose from 1/4 or 1/3 Pound with an additional charge on burger patty.

When it is the month to replenish my mom's grocery, she always requests for food she often miss eating. The day gets a bit busy than other days. I end up ordering food online for her since she doesn't know how to do that on her own. Being the daughter who has access doing all what needs to complete the whole task makes you think harder to make sure her groceries are complete. Other people think it is easy to do but sometimes it can be a challenge to think together with your mom to find out other food she may want to try rather than repeating her food over and over again. Lately my mom has been craving for kare kare oxtail from Manam you wonder why the restaurant only place their food in a paper bag with a paper container especially the food being hot after it has been cooked. I have placed my mom's kare kare with oxtail in a plastic container to make sure it will arrive secure to her. I am not sure if the restaurants realize how the paper container begins to break apart whe...
